Reverse:

The optional electric reverse kit ONLY works with Kpower industries PPF Delete kits (sold separately). Our reverse kit includes:

  • Steel sandwich sprocket
  • 2.5hp electric starter motor
  • 4ga wire
  • small momentary switch and wiring
  • mounting brackets and hardware

 

Step one: 

Using the provided pipe as a spacer, bolt the starter to the bushing on the ppf delete.

 

Step two:

 Slide the reverse sprocket onto the rear driveshaft flange as far as it will go, paying attention to the orientation. There is a side marked "diff" that goes against the diff, and there are reliefs cut into two sides of the sprocket to accommodate some small features of the flange casting. Press this on as far as it will go by hand, and then assemble the drive shaft. Tighten the flange bolts in a pattern to draw the flange on the rest of the way. You may need to heat the flange slightly with propane torch.

Step 3: 

Install the ppf delete assembly onto the rear subframe with the spacer on the driver side. Use the stock hardware if possible as the hardware provided with the KPowers PPF delete won't be long enough.

Step 4:

Mount the momentary switch somewhere easily accessible in the cabin. One wire goes to a 12v power source, the other to the spade connector on the starter. Now bolt the 4ga cable to the starter and connect to the positive battery terminal. Be sure to support the wire if mounting under the car.

Step 5:

With the rear wheels in the air and the car in neutral, test the starter for bind and proper gear mesh. Loosen mounting bolts and reposition the starter to adjust until smooth operation is achieved as shown in the below video:

Sprocket adapter:

The sprocket adapter is press fit and needs to be heated to install properly. Do not heat with a torch as the material is sensitive to over heating.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f. 

Step 2: Insert your sprocket adapter and bake for 20-25 minutes

Step 3: Using channel locks or similar instrument, install the adapter over the output shaft splines and use the output shaft nut to pull the adapter all the way onto the output shaft. Be sure to align the splines properly before committing to your ugga-duggas.

 

Manual shifter linkage:

Step 1: Install the shifter linkage bracket onto the rear crank cover

Step 2: check that the provided hardware fits through the stock gear selector arm. If not, drill out the hole with a 1/4" drill.

Step 3: For proper shifting order, configure the linkages as shown below.

Step 4: Install the shifter onto the transmission tunnel, reusing the stock shifter gasket if desired.

Step 5: Connect the shifter linkage to the shifter lever under the car. Adjust the linkage lengths until the desired shifter lever position is achieved.
